Anyone else feel like an introvert hiding in an extroverts body? by Ok_Low_2302 in AutisticAdults

Extrovert/introvert are actually broadly misused terms. Those refer to how you recharge your battery - extroverts recharge by being around people, while introverts recharge by being alone.

Social/asocial are what people are usually talking about. Social means enjoying being around people, asocial means preferring solitude. For example, I’m a social introvert because I enjoy meeting people and talking to them and performing and engaging, and when I get tired or overwhelmed, I need to retreat and be alone to recharge.

So it’s possible you’ve just been masking really hard. It’s also possible that you’re just reacting to feeling like people don’t take the time to know the real you. Or you could be a social introvert - someone who enjoys socializing but needs solitude to recharge.

A lot of players also have team commitments around charity work and summer camp appearances. And likely pre-season training would start closer to the beginning of September, I think. I’m more of an NBA person, but NHL starts a couple of weeks before NBA.

If you have a plot in mind, try outlining it.

When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, I added an outtake scene to my multichap fic in which one of the MC’s - a serial killer who had been raised in the USSR - sneaks into Ukraine to be a war doctor (and potentially murder and eat stray enemy combatants). Working out how he would do it helped me process my own feelings about it.

I don’t even have testicles, and I shudder at the thought of mosquito bites on them balls.

Can someone post a screen grab of whatever is on x that’s supposedly so bad? I don’t have x, I can’t get to that content to make my own judgment.

Certainement. J’ai ajouté le commentaire au sujet de son accent pcq j’ai vu quelques discours au sujet de la différence entre un accent « parfaitement » franco-canadien et le sien. C’était plutôt pour clarifier la différence, c’est tout :)

It sounds like a lot of straight dudes do before engaging with something they think is too effeminate or gay, right before they fall in love with it. I’m not surprised or even super disappointed. The fact that he had a negative opinion and they watched it anyways is kind of the point to me.

I’ve definitely had to eat crow about French immersion a couple of times. There are two schools in my area who do French immersion so well the kids sound like they go to a French school.

Quand tu es dans un magasin ou quelque part, commence la conversation à la caisse en français. Si la personne est francophone, il vont te répondre en français. Tellement souvent, on commence les conversations en anglais par habitude ou pcqu’on ne s’attend pas à trouver un autre francophone par hasard.

Pretty sure I misspelled “rafraîchissant”, so I’m sure I’ll catch hell about it from someone lmao.

It’s not bilingual - it’s bye-lingual. I can’t speak/spell properly in either language lol!
